    Ups down on page 3 that's no good. Sunday is here nearly the end of the weekend but only 1 week to go before 2 weeks off.

    Got all my birthday presents sorted out for family in Denmark I have a huge number to get for in the Summer but all done mainly thanks to T K Max.

    Spent some Nectar Points on a new pair of shears from Argos, DH has done the edges around the raised beds so might not have to mow the lawn now. That would be handy.

    New DD for electric has been set up now £40 instead of £60 but no news on gas as I think I was a bit late with the meter reading. Still should be less too.

    Managed to bag a MS for the airport its a funny one but pays £15 so all good a bit scary too but only have too be phoned in before we take off so no worries about getting to a computer as soon as we get to Denmark. Actually that helps toward the cost of the hotel etc.

    Playing golf today but not until 11.40 so have plenty of time to chill out this morning. Hoping to order some prints as I have a code for 50 free prints and it would be nice to show the boys off to the family in Denmark.

    Enough typing need to jump in the bath then get dressed. Have a lovely Sunday all.

  • You bought new sandals - thats terrible, you would NEVER catch me spending money on something like that;)

    I'm sorry but I did have to have a little giggle at the left hand golf club, its the sort of daft thing I would do!

    Your Mssing seems to be going great guns, well done.

    Thanks TPA that made me smile really ncie to have nice sandals and they fit like a glove which means I have to take less shoes to Denmark.

    Woke up at 4am and cannot get back to sleep. Second night in a hotel but have had a quite good trip. Went out for dinner at a country pub with work last night really nice to see and talk to people I normally only get to talk to on the phone. Meeting tomorrow (ups today) at 9am and then home.

    Really should get some sleep as I need to get up in 3 1/2 hours which I could go down stairs and talk to the kittens like I normally do however not a good plan when you are in a hotel and there are no cats here.

    Should get my laptop sorted at work but to be honest I am in such a holiday mood I really don't care.

    Got an image of you in your dressing gown in some hotel's lobby going "here kitty, kitty, kitty!"

    Afternoon sorry I have not updated have been having a nice time in Denmark. So nice to have the whole family together and get to know my niece and nephew better. The large house is lovely lots of space and nice swimming pool jacuzzi and sauna. Weather turned rainy and cold now which is a shame but we did have some nice days earlier in the week. Just come back from a day trip to Fanø a very special island not far from here.

    Hope its not too hot in England a bit of rain would be good for my garden also really miss the two boys.

    Back home after a really lovely holiday nice to have spent so much time with the family and the second week we had fab weather at my mums. Played golf and chilled out. Saw lots of my dad and he lent me his car for the whole week so we could get around. Saw old friends and all in all had a really good time. Spent all the money I had in Denmark plus £210 but that incl the Brunch for my Birthday.

    So Big Birthday over and done with and now its time to think about the future.

    Wil start a new diary with what my goals will be for the next 5 years. Watch this space.
